Dude, why did you choose the infamous war gas as your username?
I remember my chemistry professor saying that if you smell a "newly shorn hay"
scent you better run for your life.
A phosphene is an entoptic phenomenon characterized by the experience of seeing light without light actually entering the eye. Phosphenes are reminders that our eyes are simply organs that receive light. All the "seeing" happens inside our brains. In other words.....don't let your eyes deceive you. |

"Lethal Weapon 2" may not have been particularly NWO(except for maybe the drug traffiking angle in there), however - with the current discussion going on here at Prison Planet Forum over how the swine flu vaccine makers are getting legal immunity, it reminded me of the plotline in this movie over how those South African drug smugglers got caught red-handed early in the movie with high levels of illegal drugs, but they could NOT get prosecuted b/c they had (diplomatic)immunity, and were also able to continue to get a free ride in the USA to boot.
Like I said - not particularly NWO, but like with all Hollywood movies, this immunity part was yet more predictive programming(potentially) that we see in alot of Hollywood movies and tv shows.

Without a doubt - the "Left Behind" series - one big predictive programming propaganda hit piece to the Christian audience in terms of convincing them to believe the pre-trib rapture doctrine.(and for that matter too - throw in indirect Blue Beam predictive programming)
FYI - I've been a LONG time pre-trib believer...however - in recent days, I've come to see the errors of my ways. I mean Jesus, Paul, and Peter CLEARLY say the Lord will come back at Jesus' 2ND COMING at the END(or somewhere near) of the 7 year trib. It's layed out crystally in Matthew 24, 1st The, 2nd Peter 3, Rev, et al.

1991's "The Last Boyscout" - Bruce Willis and Daman Wayans uncover a conspiracy by the elite to legalize gambling in professional sports.
So what has happened in years subsequently after this movie was released? States slowly but surely passed laws to legalize gambling(no, not on sports or anything, but just in GENERAL). AND professional sports has become a multi-million $ industry(like that LA Stallions owner said at the beginning of that movie).
For one, at least to me, the NWO seems to like to blow out gambling into full fruition b/c quite simply, this is just another way to liquidate the middle class and redistribute wealth.(i.e. that LA Stallions owner said, "That's billions...NINE Zeros!")
And two, in recent years, at least IMHO, it's becoming more painfully obvious that sports games have FIXED(at least to some extent) written all over them. I mean I've seen the same cycle leading up to so many games in recent years - the hot team gets all the good press leading up to the game, while the struggling team they're playing gets the opposite, and then somehow the struggling team either beats the hot team, or at least covers the spread. And while the NWO-runned sports media et al gives reactions like "It's just parody", "The hot team ate the cheese", "The struggling team has finally turned the corner and will make a run", etc - they'll do this every single time. But having observed some of these games, I've noticed ALOT of questionable stuff like coaches making painfully bad decisions, players mentally checking out or making mistakes even a 5 year old wouldn't make, etc.
I had this same reaction watching last night's Cowboys/Saints game - without going into all the details, it was pretty painfully obvious that game had FIXED written all over it. I mean all week long, all we heard how betting on the Saints was easy money. Looks like Vegas made a killing.
Anyhow - the NWO has drawn up many deceptive ways to redistribute wealth - I feel this is one of them.

I'm going to check that movie out. About the game, I didn't watch it, so I honestly don't know what to say about it.. I agree with you saying sports are fixed to an extent... but I doubt a game between 2 HORRIBLE teams are fixed, since I doubt many people are betting on the game, or even watching for that matter. To play devils advocate though, there's been times I remember playing 1 on 1 with people WAYYY better than me and somehow I found a way to win the game, so I think the underdogs can win FAIRLY sometimes, but I agree in a professional sports setting with gambling very very big, it looks more and more like it's fixed. I don't think movies,music,tv,sports,etc,etc.. are bad in theory, it's just when evil people end up taking over, that's when the problems start, just like with government and anything else for that matter.. Not bad in theory if they're used correctly. |

I forgot to add this, but if people were as serious about fixing this country and world, as they are about sports and stuff like that, we could take back over this country right now.

1970
Alex in Wonderland
After his first film is a hit, a young director is caught in the classic bind between art and commerce--he wants to make a film that challenges the audience and makes them think, and the studio wants something simple that will make them a ton of money.
Brewster McCloud
Brewster is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans. When the fateful day arrives, and he enters the dome with his fanciful construction of bird wings, Brewster is surrounded by the police. Will he be caught before he attempts to fly?
The Conformist
This story opens in 1938 in Rome, where Marcello has just taken a job working for Mussollini and is courting a beautiful young woman who will make him even more of a conformist. Marcello is going to Paris on his honeymoon and his bosses have an assignment for him there. Look up an old professor who fled Italy when the fascists came into power. At the border of Italy and France, where Marcello and his bride have to change trains, his bosses give him a gun with a silencer. In a flashback to 1917, we learn why sex and violence are linked in Marcello's mind.
The Executioner
Explosive international intrigue results when British Intelligence agent John Shay suspects Booth, a colleague, of being a double-agent. Although Shay's superiors warn him against an investigation, he travels to Greece and Turkey in order to check out his suspicions. There, Shay becomes involved with a beautiful woman who was once her lover, and is now Booth's wife. Before long, Shay realizes that he is being used as a Communist pawn, and has fallen into grave danger.
The Looking Glass War
At the height of the Cold War, British Intellegence discovers evidence that suggests Soviet missiles are being positioned close to the German border. With no active agents available to investigate, Fred Leiser must be called back to the colors and sent East. Once behind the Iron Curtain, Leiser meets a sympathetic German girl who tries to help him to evade the East German secret police and to complete his assignment.
The Mind of Mr. Soames
A 30-year-old man, who has been in a coma since birth, is finally restored to consciousness by a breakthrough brain operation. Although physically an adult, the man is 'reborn' in the eye of an infant; and the doctors caring for him must teach him to walk, talk and prepare for life in the outside world. Tension builds as he escapes from the hospital, wanders among people who do not realize his identity, and is hunted by the police.
The Molly Maguires
Life is rough in the coal mines of 1876 Pennsylvania. A secret group of Irish emigrant miners, known as the Molly Maguires, fights against the cruelty of the mining company with sabotage and murder. A detective, also an Irish emigrant, is hired to infiltrate the group and report on its members. But on which side do his sympathies lie?
Moon Zero Two
A space salvage expert and his partner become involved with a group of criminals intent on hijacking a small asteroid made of sapphire and crashing it into the moon for later recovery. The only place that they can bring the asteroid down without drawing attention to themselves is a far side mining claim. But first they must dispose of the miner. Little known to them, however, is the fact that the miners sister has hired the same salvage team to help her locate her missing brother.
Pound
This allegorical film by Robert Downey Sr. finds humans all playing the role of animals in cages as they wait to be gassed. Flashbacks are used to tell the character's fantasies outside the cage. It is hard to tell if the characters are supposed to be animals, although a depressed prized fighter plays a boxer and a bald man is supposedly a Mexican hairless. Robert Downey Jr. makes an early film appearance as a puppy.
The Traveling Executioner
a period drama/black comedy starring Stacy Keach as Jonas Candide, a proud electric chair owner who sends condemned prisoners off to "the fields of Ambrosia" for $100 a pop. When Candide is charged with executing his first woman (Mariana Hill), he falls for her and ends up crossing the line from state-sponsored execution to simple murder.
The Wild Child
1798. In a forrest, some countrymen catch a wild child who can not walk, speak, read neither write. The Doctor Itard is interested by the child, and starts to educate him. Everybody thinks he will fail, but with a lot of love and patience, he manages to obtain results... This is a true story.
WUSA
A radio station in the Deep South becomes the focal point of a right-wing conspiracy.
Rheinhardt, a cynical drifter, gets a job as an announcer for right-wing radio station WUSA in New Orleans. Rheinhardt is content to parrot WUSA's reactionary editorial stance on the air, even if he doesn't agree with it. Rheinhardt finds his cynical detachment challenged by a lady friend, Geraldine, and by Rainey, a neighbor and troubled idealist who becomes aware of WUSA's sinister, hidden purpose. And when events start spinning out of control, even Rheinhardt finds he must take a stand.

I haven't read this whole thread, but there are some great references to false flag terrorism, governing through crisis and social engineering and commutarianism in the movie Demolition Man. I saw it for the first time over thanksgiving and I couldn't believe what I saw.

I posted a few recommendations on this thread awhile back. Interesting thread. Don't know if this one has already been posted, but this is one of the great films of all time in my humble opinion - THX 1138. George Lucas based this movie on a short film he did in college about a future world in which all citizens are forced to take medications to keep them docile, and sex is strictly forbidden. The job of reproduction is handled by a never seen, all seeing state entity using genetic technology. The citizens are allowed no sense of dignity or individuality and are kept in line by the ever present threat of being filmed by security cameras manned by fellow citizens, and by imposing robot police with long electric cattle prod type staffs (police tazers anyone) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Z2ag8FMZwPay attention to the protestations of the Donald Pleasense character in this scene. He symbolizes the phony Ford Foundation left wing that we all are aware of: MoveOn.org, Greenpeace, Chomsky, Mother Jones, The Nation, etc. All sound and fury, but totally inadequate when it comes to really putting the pieces of the puzzle together and figuring out the conspiracy that's taking place and the people and institutions involved - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHjFM-jqdNcAnother one I already posted a few months ago: Eyes Wide Shut. This is Stanley Kubrick's final film. He died mysteriously only a few days after turning over the final[?] cut of the movie to Warner Brothers. It has been claimed that fifteen or twenty minutes of the film were excised from the final cut. It would be interesting to know if Kubrick made the cuts himself for aesthetic reasons, or if someone else felt that the director was revealing just a bit too much about a hidden aspect of our modern society. This is the scene where the Tom Cruise character (Dr. Bill Harford) is confronted by the participants of a satanic black magic ritual after he unwisely crashes the proceedings under cover of mask and cloak. Notice the double headed eagle or phoenix carved into the back of the high priests chair, and the crown and cross above it. That is the Scottish Rite Freemasonic emblem. This film is jam packed with secret society allusions, symbols, hand signs, etc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsfHwOz_c1wNot exactly congruent with the topics covered on this board, but a movie I have always loved is the gangster crime drama "White Heat" from 1949. I think this was James Cagney's best movie. He said he just wanted to have some fun with the character and go all the way over the top in his performance. In small time criminal Cody Jarret he creates a character that is as sociopathic and psychotic as any in movie history, but it is amazing how funny the performance is. This movie manages to be both a riveting crime melodrama and off key comedy at the same time. Here is the famous scene where Cagney/Jarret learns of his mother's death at the hands of rival gangster "Big Ed" while eating in the prison mess hall where he is doing a limited sentence for confessing to a lesser crime than the train heast robbery that opens the film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1nuAuowU94 |

Not related to NWO/conspiracies, as far as I can tell, but a jolly good time: Night Watch and Day Watch (from the director of "Wanted" - which is a pale imitation of his Russian movies). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0403358/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409904/Now, on to NWO/conspiratorial fare. George Clooney seems heavily involved in NWO psyops. Consider "Ocean's Thirteen", which is a celebration of organized stalking techniques including 24/7 surveillance, break-ins, betrayals, and psychological warfare. The psyop: teaching the audience that organized stalking is okay, because the targets deserve it. Or how about "The Men Who Stare at Goats", an acknowledgement of psychotronic technologies. The psyop: anchoring psychotronic weaponry (which is real) to "psychic warriors" (which, in my opinion, are not). Or "Burn after reading". Some messages: 1. Don't go anywhere near government secrets, you'll just get whacked; 2. People who think they are being followed (Clooney) are paranoid fools. |

The Peacemaker! - Total NWO orgy of insanity and conditioning for false flags and promoting the use of sniper rifles to blow babies heads off. He did a good job though with Michael Clayton and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Michael Clayton was a damn fine movie and the dialog was really incredible exposing what little energy it takes to create a false flag execution and the money changing hands at the very high level. Confessions exposed the connections between the media industry and the international CIA assassination teams by presenting a highly likely scenario (the writer was a genius though, so Clooney does not get all the credit). |

He makes plans to rob the entire building. What he doesn't know is that his every move is recorded on audio and video tape, although he is not the subject of any surveillance. The Andromeda Strainhttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/andromeda_strain.jpgA U.S. Army satellite (Scoop VII) falls to earth near Piedmont, New Mexico. The recovery team experiences difficulties as it becomes clear that the satellite has performed its intended function all too well, and has brought back something from space. A team of scientists is assembled in a high-tech, underground facility to identify and defeat the "enemy" before it is too late. A Clockwork Orangehttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/clockwork_orange.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Xc-9YeWE4Protogonist Alex is an "ultraviolent" youth in futuristic Britian. As with all luck, his eventually runs out and he's arrested and convicted of murder and rape. While in prison, Alex learns of an experimental program in which convicts are programed to detest violence. If he goes through the program his sentence will be reduced and he will be back on the streets sooner than expected. But Alex's ordeals are far from over once he hits the mean streets of Britian that he had a hand in creating. Gas-s-s-s (also known as Gas! or It Became Necessary to Destroy the World in Order to Save It) http://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/gassss.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdr_FRp3RWsA 1971 motion picture produced and released by American International Pictures. It was producer Roger Corman's final film for AIP, before leaving to found his own New World Pictures. It was Corman's last film as director for eighteen years. The movie is a post-apocalyptic dark comedy, about survivors of an accidental military gas leak, of an experimental agent that kills everyone on Earth over the age of twenty-five. (A cartoon title sequence shows a John Wayne-esque Army General announcing - and denouncing - the "accident"; the story picks up after the victims have died.) The lead characters, Coel and Cilla, were played by Bob Corff and Elaine Giftos, and the cast features Ben Vereen, Cindy Williams, Bud Cort and Talia Shire in early roles. Country Joe McDonald makes an appearance, as spokesman "AM Radio". Gas-s-s-s found a fresh airing on late night television in the 1980s, and was recently (2005) issued on DVD, as a double feature with Wild in the Streets, another AIP movie. Glen and Randahttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/glen_and_randa.jpgTeenagers Glen and Randa are members of a tribe that lives in a rural area, several decades after nuclear war has devastated the planet. They know nothing of the outside world, except that Glen has read about and seen pictures of a great city in some old comic books. He and Randa set out to find this city. Guess What We Learned in School Today?http://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/guess_what_we_learned_in_school_today.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjji4dAyIFQParents in a small, conservative community don't think that the sex drive is a normal thing for children to experience. So much so, that they label education in that regard as a communist plot. The group of prudes is led by an impotent alcoholic and a gay policeman. The Hellstrom Chroniclehttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/hellstrom_chronicle.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBZwwQGYxHMA fictitious scientist called Dr. Nils Hellstrom (played by Lawrence Pressman) guides viewers throughout the film. He claims, on the basis of scientific-sounding theories, that insects will ultimately win the fight for survival on planet Earth because of their adaptability and ability to reproduce rapidly, and that the human race will lose this fight largely because of excessive individualism. The film combines short clips from horror and science fiction movies with extraordinary camera sequences of butterflies, locusts, wasps, termites, ants, mayflies, and other insects rarely seen before on film. The Hospitalhttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/hospital.jpgHerbert Block is chief of medicine in a major teaching hospital. His wife has left him, he is impotent and his children have both disowned him. He is toying with the idea of suicide when patients begin dying, not from complications, but from the erroneous treatments the Hospital is giving them. People in the wrong beds are given wrong medicines, sent to operating theaters for incorrect surgery, and found in waiting rooms dead of natural causes. Barbara Drummond has come to take her comatose father back to the Sioux reservation where he operates a clinic and they each reach out to each other for emotional support, as a shadowy figure stalks the patients and staff of the hospital. Johnny Got His Gunhttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/johnny_got_his_gun.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7AFmXc0wK0Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed in a fate worse than death --- a quadruple amputee who has lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to think, thereby reliving his life through strange dreams and memories, unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming. He remains frustrated by his situation, until one day when Joe discovers a unique way to communicate with his caregivers. McCabe & Mrs. Millerhttp://www.impawards.com/1971/mccabe_and_mrs_miller_xlg.htmlTarantino On McCabe & Mrs Miller - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6sh9X-V0XASet in winter in the Old West. Charismatic but dumb John McCabe arrives in a young Pacific Northwest town to set up a whorehouse/tavern. The shrewd Mrs. Miller, a professional madam, arrives soon after construction begins. She offers to use her experience to help McCabe run his business, while sharing in the profits. The whorehouse thrives and McCabe and Mrs. Miller draw closer, despite their conflicting intelligences and philosophies. Soon, however, the mining deposits in the town attract the attention of a major corporation, which wants to buy out McCabe along with the rest. He refuses, and his decision has major repercussions for him, Mrs. Miller, and the town. The Omega Manhttp://www.impawards.com/1971/posters/omega_man.jpghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-MosmUseSYIn 1977, two years after Russia and China had engaged in germ warfare and destroying most of mankind, U.

Haven't read the whole thread, but 2 movies by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy director)...The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth. Both set in Spain during the Civil War, both deal with fascism.
Sci-fi...The Fountain (by Darren Aronovsky). Amazing movie. I've seen LOTS of sci-fi movies and this is at the top of the list. Haven't figured it out yet and probably never will, but it's amazing.
Wim Wenders...Paris Texas (Harry Dean Stanton should have won whatever awards were available that year) and Wings of Desire.
Older movies...a bunch by Orson Welles, Kubrick, Kurosawa, John Ford, Sergio Leone.

Not a professionally-released movie, but this is one of the films that's stayed with me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTYLgul5GsgI expect there are full clips of this on the internet. I know it by heart. The guy gets pretty animated later on. I first saw this clip years ago when I'd watch Alex Jones on Austin's cable access. Way before his current fame. He was wedged in there between belly dancers and...well, things like this. |

A great foreign film to watch, in my opinion, would be Ingmar Bergman's "The Virgin Spring" from 1960. It's based on a very old Scandinavian folk tale about the miraculous appearance of a country stream at the spot where a young girl was raped and murdered. One of his few films not actually written by him, it still has the Bergman touch, and deals with the themes that concerned him throughout his life: the existence of evil in the human soul; the meaning of suffering; the fact of mortality; moral redemption; faith and doubt in the existence of God. Great, stark black and white cinematography from legendary camera man Sven Nykvist, stellar performances with great acting from all involved, particularly the performance of the great Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) as the stern, god fearing father whose faith is put to the ultimate test. I had tears in my eyes when I watched this movie on NetFlix a few weeks ago. It's that powerful. Maybe Bergman's best.  Spoiler Here is a link to the powerful ending, where the girl's religiously pious mother and father trek to the site of their daughter's murder to retrieve the body, and where the fabled spring miraculously appears. If you plan on watching the film, you might not want to look at this clip, as it gives away several crucial plot developments - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSM1DXxxrFE&feature=PlayList&p=DA896A163733D95B&index=8 |

Probably everyone here has seen this. But still, it had to be mentioned... (And the 2 preceding movies in the trilogy are also quite good)  |

HardwareLong time AJ fans will have noticed Alex quote this film... Sci-Fi and Rock fans will also spot a few things... like Lemmy from Motorhead, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_(1990_film)  "The ultimate purpose of this weapon is to allow the government to commit mass genocide of its own citizens to alleviate overpopulation."This is what you want,

Andrei Rublev, one of the greatest movies ever.
While America was producing nonsense like Midnight Cowboy, the Soviet Union put out Andrei Rublev.
Not everything is what it seems. Iron Curtain held back alot of NWO/materialistic crap, go figure.
You tube has all 15 parts.

Did somebody say Hawkwind ? Are you a fan too? I think they are the most underrated rock band of all time. Growing up in the 70's and 80's my local radio stations always played other bands I liked (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Neil Young, et al) but I don't recall ever hearing them play Hawkwind even once. Maybe it was different in other parts of the country? |

This is what you get, Thanks for posting. I had totally forgotten, over the last 15-20 years, that I needed to see this film. I'll be making it a point to download it over the weekend. A perfect film for the holidays  Not only are Lemmy and Iggy Pop starring in it, but also Carl McCoy of one of the best gothic bands of all-time, Fields Of The Nephilim (if curious about this band, check this video of their song "Blue Water" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS5RPJQVh-Q) By the way, the quote "this is what you want, this is what you get" is taken from the 1984 PiL song "The Order Of Death" from their album "This Is What You Want...This Is What You Get". The song also appeared on the soundtrack for "The Blair Witch Project". |

Repo Menhttp://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/repo-men/red-band-trailerIn the futuristic action-thriller Repo Men, humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival. Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), to track him down. Now that the hunter has become the hunted, Remy joins Beth (Alice Braga), another debtor who teaches him how to vanish from the system. And as he and Jake embark on a chase across a landscape populated by maniacal friends and foes, one man will become a reluctant champion for thousands on the run.

Did anyone mention that "2010" movie in this thread?
Odd how in that movie, it was about a bunch of astraunauts making first contact with extreterrestrial life in outer space - funny how currently, we ARE indeed in the year 2010. Not saying alien disclosure will happen this year, but we're pretty close.

Escape From L.A. - 1996http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_laThis movie has it all: Weaponized Designer Virus:The Plutoxin 7 virus is revealed to be nothing more than a fast, hard-hitting case of the flu. Facist "Conservative Christain" President overthrows the Constitutional Govt, and FEMA-Camp island complete with Containment wall, gun towers, and much more. (Just like the Gaza Strip)The candidate is elected as the new President and a new constitutional amendment appoints him for life and the capital is relocated to his hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia. The President declares that anyone not conforming to the new "Moral America" laws he creates (banning such things as smoking, alcoholic beverages, red meat, firearms, profanity, non-Christian religions and non-marital sex) will lose their citizenship and be deported to Los Angeles Island (unless they repent and choose the electric chair). Like New York City in Escape from New York, Los Angeles is turned into a penal colony of sorts. A containment wall is built around the shore of the island, armed guards and watchtowers are posted, and those sent to the island are exiled permanently. The Facist Life-Time President of "Moral America" uses an oddly named superweapon to launch his New World Order. the "Sword of Damocles" super weapon—a series of high-tech satellites capable of destroying electronics anywhere on the planet using a focused electromagnetic pulse. The President had threatened to use the system to render enemies of America "unable to function", and eventually dominate the world. This movie is Comedy Gold due to the 1990's special effects, yet the subtle backstory information is freaking eerie, and still relative to our situation today.
